Junjin was born in the 1980, korean age 29, has exceeded the enlistment age. With regards to artists avoiding army, the sensitive netizens will keep on criticizing. But if this is due to enlistment problem or if it is really a problem getting worst is still unknown, netizens should exercise self-restrain if they are going to continue criticizing.

When asked on queries about avoiding army, his management company expressed, "It is because of the enlistment problem that we are being careful, and decided to mentioned the whole incident", "We never thought that Junjin will not serve the army. We are as worried about misunderstandings."
